Majority of Coasties vote 'Yes'

Stats breakdown.

UPDATE: Robertson MP Lucy Wicks has reaffirmed her commitment to voting in favor of any forthcoming legislation to allow same-sex couples to marry, following this morning's Postal Survey results.

"It's always been not about my say - even though I have been very public about my views - it's always been about what people on the Central Coast have been saying. The overwhelming majority of Australians voted yes and I will be reflecting that result in Parliament."

Dobell MP Emma McBride has also made a statement abouther intentions.

"As someone with a strong belief in equal rights I will vote for legislation so same-sex couples can marry the person they love in the country they love. This can be done before Christmas. It's time."
